One example? In March, Trump insisted that reporting about potential ties between his presidential campaign and Russian efforts to influence the election was "fake news." He then went on to assert that a greater concern was leaks of classified information.

Despite his concern for leaks, the president still promoted a story that appeared to divulge just that: classified information.

During her Tuesday morning interview on Fox & Friends, Haley refused to comment on the North Korea report, saying,

I can't talk about anything that's classified. And if that's in the newspaper that's a shame.

She then added,

But I will tell you it's incredibly dangerous when things get out into the press like that. You're not only just getting a scoop on something, you're playing with people's lives. And this has got to stop. Whatever the leaks are coming from, if somebody thinks they are getting power or fame from it, all you are doing is putting Americans in danger.

Still, Trump appeared to confirm the veracity of information his own ambassador thought should be kept discreet. Needless to say, it contradicts his repeated criticisms of other stories with unnamed sources.
